This...



Pretty much the state of IT today, I've recently been working on a "near sourcing" project where after two years of non-delivery a contractor team was assembled in the UK which completed the project in five months whereas two years prior produced zero.

whereas I would agree that our old colonial friends have attributes which might seem alien to us, modern technology has also played a part as far as I can see. I used Powerhouse (not so modern I know) for some time on an HP3000 platform and it was like trying to subdue a wild animal in a bag. One experienced user of it remarked to me that it was only designed to provide 80% of what was required!!!

It's down again.

All short haul fleet has been grounded in and out of outstations due to the loss of the BA FLY system.

Are you suggesting they're using inferior knicker elastic? No wonder their flights are usually delayed...

The problem was just with the Boeing 737 Max... Ryanair changed the name to 737-8200, so problem solved!

We all love a rebrand!

I see that O'Leary has told Boeing to get it's tulip together. That'll help.

I'm never flying Ryanair again, I can put up with tulipe service etc as I only do 2-2.5 hors max, but I'm never flying on a Boeing 737 again.

Once I saw the scale of the devastation, I did not venture out to the terminals yesterday! Made sure my badge was off when I went home, etc.

BA went for the 'much cheapness' option. I was briefly there around the time they started shifting everything they could to the cheapest Indians they could find.
I'd only choose BA over Ryanair, and that's faint praise indeed...

Very partially agreed! Why this is happening all the time with BA and not with all the other 4743764738482 (smaller/bigger/more or less popular/low cost/fancy) air companies?

my two penneth -

modern technology seems to allow far less control over the environment than earlier lower generations of software. Anyone who has used Powerhouse might agree with me.

why does my Ebay screen jump about after it has been painted?

This...

We've discussed this before. BA outsourced most of their IT to some Cowboys. No, hang on, it wasn't Cowboys...it was Indians...I knew I'd get there eventually...unlike most of their passengers...
